The Experience
With the Kennedy Space Center Gateway Package, you can visit the only place on Earth where you can experience the G-forces of space travel, climb aboard space rockets and explore the space shuttle. More interactive than a museum, more inspirational than a science centre and more authentic and educational than a theme park, discover a host of breathtaking attractions.
